Someone needs to explain to Miley Cyrus that the purpose of taking a shower is to simply wash one's body, towel dry, and be done with it. The actress/singer's Instagram account has basically become an outlet for her to show off what she looks like before and after her showers -- I'm sure a pic of her actually IN the shower is coming up next. Well, folks, each time she takes one of these near-nude selfies, Miley ups the ante just a bit. Her latest pre-shower photos are racy, ridiculous, and proof that the star must be very, very bored.

Miley posted the following pic while hanging out before her shower in what I hope is a hotel room (because no grown woman's bedroom should ever be this messy). She included the hashtag: #preshoweralfalfaselfielife.

We have classic Miley here: the tongue out, zany hair, exposed panties. Ah, and a bit of boob that's covered up with a cartoon image. At this point, girl, you might as well show everything you got because you haven't exactly been modest.

But, wait. That's not the only shower photo the world gets to see. This one featured the tag: #postshowerinstagramwhoreselfielife:

She actually looks super pretty in this photo -- I'm thinking this has a lot to do with the fact that her tongue is inside of her mouth for once. But I still have to ask: are these pictures really necessary? Why give shots of your body away for free?

And, I'm afraid to ask, what will Miley do to top these? First we got this "naked" shower selfie, which didn't really reveal anything other than Miley's buns (no, not those buns), and then the starlet gave us another tongue shot, which at the very least, proved what we already knew: she's a gorgeous girl who doesn't need a stitch of makeup to be beautiful.

Miley has oodles of money and fame, and has flown everywhere and done everything. One has to wonder: is she taking all of these selfies because she's just bored out of her damn mind?
